They are connected to some of the premier manufacturer for methane gas engines over the world. I am still betting on natural gas as our(USA) bridge fuel. Oil prices will go up; natural gas(relatively) will not. Local haul truck will use CNG more and more in upcoming years. Need to pick up cash flow.

1. I think oil prices will stay relatively low for awhile- so the price difference between NG and oil-based-gasoline won't be very large.2. With more and more electric cars coming out, I think Green customers, or customer worried about the price of oil-based-gasoline will buy an electric car or a hybrid before they buy an NG car.

Natural Gas Engines' success will depend on retail availability (e.g. CLNE). I am betting on both in tandem, but both have been hammered of late. In the future, as we export LNG, production and prices for NG will potentially reach worldwide equilibrium, and NG engines will be the beneficiary. If LNG doesn't take off, NG prices remain depressed for years to come. The potential drawback? If fracking turns south due to government regulations (isn't it ironic the same EPA that wants clean energy seems to be fighting NG producers?!?), fear, or prohibitively low prices. The recent elections will, hopefully, keep that in check.

It is the leader in the natural gas engine industry. At $7+ it's market cap of less than half a billion is a steal given the hefty amount invested in R&D with in recent years. Either the managemt delivers finally the breakeven promise in 2015, restoring its cashflow health, or else it mighl have to be sold. Given the current market capitalization of less than $500mm, I believe there is an upside there even if the company should Lose its independence.

While recent negative earnings announcements put their impending faster growth phase out by a few months, the growth story for Westport remains in place. And if they so choose, at $500 million they are around the floor for a take private or takeout.

Natural gas conversion has been slower than expected by short attention span Wall Street. However, Westport is growing in multiple industries. I think commercial fleets in the US is a big opportunity that is gaining momentum. Consumer markets over seas, where gasoline is more expensive, (ie. Tara Motors), also have potential.

Converting conventional gas engines to natural gas using enginesseems to be expanding and WPRT is a leader in this movement. One of these quarters the company will have a positive earnings report which would start the company stock price on an upward path; at this price it's worth getting in.
